The Old Sweet Shop

Tucked away in an unexpected corner plot on a residential street, The Old Sweet Shop is a creative hub, a cornucopia of exciting art and limited edition prints, and a community resource rolled into one. Artist Joe Madeira started The Old Sweet Shop in 2006, and his aim was to bring together the talented and undiscovered, to showcase emerging artists and designers and to encourage local people to take part in art activities. More than four years on, and the gallery has an established reputation for running innovative projects and breaking new ground in a series of mouthwatering exhibitions.
